You can't strip away their rights since they're not doing anything illegal, but there is no need to publicly display it and say it's okay ( Eg. otherwise normal children who did not fully mature may be influenced and and their minds might be altered before they formulate their own opinions)

Dude, the only way that straight kids may be "influenced" and their "mind altered" before they "formulate their own opinions" is they might think that its not abnormal for gay people to be gay.

Suppose that the shoe was on the other foot. I remember when I was 14. If it was considered "abnormal" to be straight, I would just have been more messed up than I already was, but nothing would have changed about fantasizing about getting inside the clothes of the cute girl in class.

The "exposure to the gay makes people gay" is a myth. All that "exposure to the gay" does is it makes people who actually are gay realize that there are other people like them, and they are not actually broken inside, they are just put together differently.

And while you may be entitled to your own opinion, you really are not entitled to your own reality ~ if your argument is grounded in an obsolete, debunked fantasy about how sexual orientation works, then its an argument without a foundation.

However, demonizing and launching attack campaign on those who don't share your viewpoints is downright disgusting. Thankfully these people only have enough motivation to make tweets with made up hashtags and not something more dangerous such as rioting or actual threats.

I think you're allowed to be offended on the internet when a large company denies the existence of a minority group of people.


I think you really shouldn't be allowed on the Internet when you think not being portrayed in a particular video game is denying your existence. Are you only real when you exist in a game of the same genre, do you exist and not exist at the same time. Is that what these companies are somehow doing in their head, no matter what other games they make in the future, past, or present in an article where they address the existence of said group which is not included in their video game. I guess that must be the case. Wow, I should have taken off that fedora years ago.
